Maybe, I thought, I should try to make all the recipes in this cookbook. Yes!!

NINETEEN : BARLEY & POMEGRANATE SALAD

Be honest... do any of you actually buy pomegranates? Despite their tastiness, I never do because they are so darn frustrating to eat! But Mr. O has changed everything with his surprisingly effective (and really quite fun) method of extracting the seeds safely from the intricate membranes. Simply halve the pomegranate, hold it in your palm, cut side down, over a bowl and whack the crap out of it. And the seeds immediately start cascading through your fingers and into the waiting bowl. Had a frustrating day at work? Maybe you need to seed some pomegranates to get out that aggression!

WHACK!

Other
than the 30-40 minutes needed to cook the barley, this salad comes
together quickly. It is really very simple. Just barley, diced celery
and pomegranate seeds in a tangy sherry vinegar dressing laced with
garlic and chopped dill. And the flavors all compliment each other so
well. Love it!

What am I doing?

My summer resolution was to cook every recipe in The Frankies Spuntino cookbook. And cook it exactly
as the recipe states, no substitutions, no additional ingredients.
It was so much fun, I'm doing it again!
